And the award for longest-living Lance girl goes to...

[u/RobinTrio]

Right so Marc, there is no more stories for Black Canary right? So like that wasn't the biggest mistake you ever made.

Was it worth it

[u/ScTcGp]

So it's only bad when Oliver kills the henchmen?

[u/FLARROW2]

Man screw Blackstar. Give me a spinoff focusing on Sara, Laurel and Dinah kicking ass.

[u/thecursedham]

I'm so happy for E2 Laurel. It sucks we won't see her till the finale but that was such a great way to confirm her as a hero for good.

[u/riftrander]

Fefe: In case you weren't aware, those bombs will be used to kill people!

Also Fefe: let's blow these goons up with the exact bombs

[u/Sonia341]

Great episode!!!

• Black Siren's kicking ass in the intro rocked.

• Loved all Canaries fighting with Black Siren Laurel (to get through to her)

• Loved Laurel-Sara sisterly scenes

• Black Siren in FF

• I miss you Quintin :(

• Black Siren getting Laurel's costume

• Shadow thief

It's going to be the dumbest thing ever if the only person who doesn't survive until 2040 is the character the show is actually based on.

3 seasons. We've had E2 Laurel for 3 seasons. And finally at the end of tonight's episode we got to see a snippy, funny, confident, and (most importantly) truly good version of Laurel.

Then 60 seconds later she was gone. Beth truly is a troll. So looking forward to more of this version of Laurel though

[u/in_decentname]

Am I the only one disappointed that Oliver never had a proper good moment with this Laurel?

[u/ToneBone12345]

If Katie is in the spin off sigh me up.

[u/GugsOrganicProduce]

I’ve gotta hand it to Beth, she’s managed to decently satisfy both sides of the fandom. She’s a much more competent showrunner than Guggie ever was. I was not expecting to see Laurel in the flash forwards, maybe those flash forwards will be a little more interesting now, though I’m still not liking Mia that much. I’m excited to see what the future holds for Laurel’s character, though I’m a little sad that she (likely) won’t make another appearance until the season finale. Also, I was pleasantly surprised that Siren was able to go toe-to-toe with Sara.

[u/FriendLee93]

I've been waiting 3 years for this episode and I'm thoroughly satisfied, ESPECIALLY after that ending.

[u/[deleted]]

So many goosebumps in this episode. This was Katie's moment. This was Katie's episode. This. Right. Here.

The Legacy of Laurel Lance, the Black Canary.

[u/[deleted]]

The Black Canary is finally getting done justice. Arrow is righting their wrongs.

[u/yummymarshmallow]

If that was Katie Cassidy's sendoff, it was a great episode. Best luck to her in her future endeavors!

[u/[deleted]]

So if Laurel is back for Season 8 as Black Canary and Felicity is gone, does that mean we're actually getting something resembling the Green Arrow show we've wanted this whole time for a measly 10 episodes?

[u/[deleted]]

that ending was amazing

[u/ArrowFlashLantern]

THE FLASH FORWARDS ARE TERRIBLE!!

STOP WASTING OUR TIME WITH ALL THESE LAME CHARACTERS JUST INTRODUCED THIS SEASON

I ONLY HAVE A FEW ARROW EPISODES LEFT I WANT TO SEE OLIVER DIG AND THE CREW. NOT NEW CHARACTERS!

Aside from that the present day story line was great!

[u/[deleted]]

THIS WAS THE EPISODE WE LAUREL FANS HAVE WAITED FOR! She better come back for season 8!

[u/Beebo_the_God_of_War]

Loved it. Katie Cassidy was amazing, and it was great seeing her in scenes with Caity Lotz again. The ending was awesome.

[u/ShiroXyfy]

So Sara is one of the best of the League of Assassins, yet she loses at CQC to an upstart villain.

EDIT: Okay, upstart was not the right word. She's a good villain in her own right, but what I meant was, what makes her a villain is her scream, she should not be able to come close to matching Sara in hand-to-hand combat.

[u/[deleted]]

I thought Ollie will show up that last screen, but oh well, that works too

[u/VikramArrowerse]

They can't have one scene between sara, oliver and laurel together....pretty disappointed but it was good to see sara....she's so different in legends but when she comes back in arrow she's just completely different person but i enjoy seeing both sides of her

[u/DonnyMox]

If the Live Episode Discussion for this episode was any indication, a lot of y’all don’t have any faith in Beth Schwartz.

First, people actually thought she was making BS evil again. Not the case.

Then, people actually thought that she was writing BS off the show for good. Again, not the case.

It’s not like she shot your puppy, guys.
